Appendix C - Updating the Software

The AXIS 2110 camera software is stored in Flash memory. This memory is provided by a silicon chip that, just like any other ROM device, retains data content even after power is removed. Flash memory is unique because it allows its data to be erased and re-written.

This means you can install software updates for your AXIS 2110 as they become available

-without having to replace any parts. New software can be simply loaded into the AXIS 2110 over the network.

Obtaining Updated Software

The latest version of the AXIS 2110 software is available free of charge from the Axis Website at www.axis.com, or from your local distributor.

Upgrading the Software

The AXIS 2110 Flash memory is upgraded over the network using FTP. See the detailed instructions supplied with each new software release.

Important!

•Always read the upgrade instructions available with each new release, prior to upgrading your soft- ware.

•Downloading normally takes between 30 seconds and 10 minutes, although it can take longer. After starting the download, you should always wait at least 20 minutes before power cycling the AXIS 2110 - even if you suspect the download procedure has failed.

•In controlled environments, flash memory upgrades provide a very safe method for updating soft- ware. However, flash products can become damaged if the upgrade operation is not performed cor- rectly. Your dealer reserves the right to charge for any repair attributable to faulty upgrading by the user.
